Overview

Visitors will be able to see the region’s people’s great influence, particularly through their villages, historical and religious sites. Thakali, Tamang, Magar, and Brahmin are other ethnic groups whose spiritual and cultural influences are felt in the local community.

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is located in central Nepal and covers a distance of 100-145 miles. It all starts with a half-day drive to Besisahar and a short hike down the mountain to Bulbule. The trek continues the next day with an uphill walk and crossing of several bridges to reach Chamje.
In the coming days, we’ll walk through a number of villages, including Chame, Pisang, and Manang. Because the trek above Manang is more difficult due to low atmospheric pressure, we’ll rest at the village. We travel from Manang to Yak Kharka, which has only a few settlements.

However, there are a lot of yaks grazing here. From here, we embark on the most difficult trek to Thorong Phedi via Thorong La Pass. We’ll have a fantastic view of the Annapurna massif and Dhaulagiri from the cliff. We’ll descend the trail to Muktinath after crossing the pass and visiting the religious shrine there. From there, we take a rugged path to Jomsom that looks more like a desert.

We’ll take a short break for breakfast after arriving in the lovely village of Kagbeni, then rush to the trail. The journey to Jomsom continues with a gentle walk along a trail that overlooks the beautiful Kali Gandaki River before beginning a rocky ascent.

We’ll get to the village by walking past the terrace farm and through the deep valley. The following day, we’ll take a scenic drive to Tatopani, where you can also enjoy a hot spring bath, before returning to the valley.

In between trips, we’ll take a short uphill walk to Ghorepani, which is a favorite stop for trekkers to admire the stunning views of Machhapure and Gangapurna.

Many trekkers who are pressed for time and cannot make it to the circuit trek Ghorepani to see Annapurna. We’ll also walk up Poon Hill’s steep trail to see the stunning sunrise view. In this way, trekking the Annapurna Circuit with Nepal Eco Adventure will provide you with an unforgettable experience.

FAQs

What is the difficulty level of the Annapurna Circuit Trek?

Although the Annapurna Circuit Trek is considered moderate and does not include a technical climb, trekkers will face some challenges. They’ll have to climb steep hills and walk through rugged terrain with sharp rocks and boulders. Due to low barometric pressure, hiking Thorong La Pass is one of the most difficult challenges for Annapurna Circuit hikers.

How risky is the Annapurna Circuit Trek?

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a risk-free trek. However, be aware of the weather, avoid walking in the dark, and stay on the main path. Don’t abandon your guide or companions.

Also, walk slowly and be aware of altitude sickness symptoms. If altitude sickness becomes severe, do not push yourself and prepare to return.

How much does the Annapurna Circuit Trek cost?

The cost of an 18-day Annapurna Circuit Trek is largely determined by the length of stay and the services available. It also varies depending on whether you are trekking alone or with an agency.

The fee includes the cost of a trekking permit, lodging, food, porters, and guides.

The trek, on the other hand, can be inexpensive or expensive depending on a variety of factors. The number of trekkers, porters, trek routes, trek season, accommodating hotels, and number of trekking days are all important factors in determining trek costs.

How many hours should I walk per day?

Typically, you walk for 5-7 hours per day. However, you may walk less or more than that on some days.

You spend so many days away from comforts. Having a guide makes your journey more enjoyable. You won’t have to worry about lodging or meals.
We assist you in pre-planning your entire trip, and you should have no problems..

Hiring a porter on the Annapurna Circuit alleviates the trekker’s burden. It enables them to walk the trail more comfortably and efficiently. Carrying a load on your back for 5-7 hours a day is also challenging. Porters in this area are strong and walk faster than trekkers. Having a porter/porters allows you to enjoy the trip more freely.

Trekkers who can navigate the trail while carrying their backpacks do not require the services of a porter. Individual trekkers who have never traveled to mountainous regions should consider hiring a porter because they take the weight off your shoulders and make the trip more relaxing for only $25 to $30.

Can I bring additional luggage on the trip?

Yes, unless you’re willing to carry it yourself or hire more than one porter, you can bring extra luggage on the trek. It’s because a porter can only assist with a hiker’s 15-20 kg load. Trekkers will be charged an additional fee for excess weight.

Is it necessary to purchase travel insurance for the Annapurna Circuit Trek?
Tourists should purchase travel insurance to cover their medical and helicopter rescue helicopter expenses. Sometimes passengers become ill and must be airlifted to the nearest hospital.

Travel insurance is usually recommended for all trekkers in case of an emergency. Because our trekkers will be taking a local bus throughout the region, they will not need to purchase one of these. Their backpack and equipment are safely transported to the trek’s starting point, eliminating the risk of theft and stealing. If something goes wrong, travel insurance provides an extra layer of protection.

Is a permit required?

Yes, you will require two separate permits. Annapurna Conservation Area Entry Permit and TIMS card ( ANCAP). Because there will be several checkpoints, make sure to get them in Kathmandu and keep them with you.

Although trekking permits are required for access to the Annapurna Circuit, the permit fee is already included in the trekking package, and there is no additional charge for conservation area entry.

Thorong La Pass is it difficult?

Thorong La Pass is a difficult part of the trek. Early in the morning, you begin your ascent to Thorong La Pass. The total length of the day’s walk exceeds 8 hours.

The trail on the pass, on the other hand, is well-marked, and there will be a lot of trekkers during peak seasons. However, before ascending to Thorong La Pass, be aware of the weather conditions.

Porters carry how much weight?

A porter will typically transport 20-25 kg of weight between two trekkers. You can carry a small backpack with daily essentials while porters carry your load.

Is it possible to get altitude sickness?

Because of the constant elevation gain and loss, the Annapurna Circuit Trek is less likely to cause altitude sickness. Aside from that, trekkers will need to acclimate before venturing high in order to adjust to the weather and temperature.

High altitude exposure has a minor effect on trekkers. Beginners with no prior trekking experience may experience minor symptoms such as headaches and dizziness. However, they will be fine to walk the trail after some rest.

Hikers must exercise caution while ascending Thorong La Pass at 5416 meters because the trails are steep. They may feel an elevation gain at this altitude, but if they take precautions, Annapurna Circuit trekkers can easily cope with the low atmospheric pressure.

How can I avoid altitude sickness?

Altitude Motion Sickness can affect anyone who has never lived at a high altitude. To avoid altitude sickness, you must exercise extreme caution.

Hydrate your body, go for a slow and steady walk, and rest when necessary. If you notice any signs of altitude sickness, be cautious not to escalate the situation.

What if I get sick or injured on the journey?

Small medical clinics can be found in the circuit’s villages. There are also hospitals in Manang and Jomsom. During the peak season, some high-altitude temporary clinics provide medical services.

If you become ill or injured during the trek, your guide will work with you to determine the best course of action.

What are my accommodations and meals like?

The Annapurna Circuit Trek is a well-known classic trek. As a result, teahouses are available in villages along the Annapurna Circuit route to accommodate trekkers..

The teahouses in the majority of the trek’s villages are basic, with basic food and lodging. Rooms include a bed, a blanket, and a few other necessities. Bathrooms are usually adequate but not of the highest quality.

Dal Bhat with vegetable curry is the most common meal. Although many tea houses serve western cuisine, nothing beats hearty Dal Bhat meals.

How much money should I bring with me on the Annapurna Trek?

The Annapurna Circuit trek costs $1,250 per person in a travel package. It covers the cost of local transportation, food, lodging, a guide, and a porter..

We recommend that all of our hikers bring extra spending money in the range of $15-$25 USD or equivalent in local currency to cover snacks, hot showers (only above Manag, which cost around $5), electricity, internet, charging camera batteries, bar bills phones, etc. It is preferable to purchase these items in town because the price increases with altitude.

How is the accommodation?

The Annapurna Circuit trek is a tea house trek because it can be found at higher elevations with a few settlements. They are more convenient and affordable, with all of the necessary amenities. The quality of service may vary between tea houses, but one thing is certain: they all have a single bed and shared bathrooms. The guest will be provided with a pillow, blanket, and bedsheet, but the use of solar heating and hot water will be charged separately.

Is there Wi-Fi at the trek?

For a small fee, many guesthouses provide hikers with wi-fi service. It may work fine in lower hills, but in the mountains, the connection may be unstable, preventing trekkers from using the wifi when needed.

Do you provide trekking equipment and gear?

Do you offer trekking equipment? Despite the fact that trekking equipment is a personal expense, we provide it to our clients. We provide everything they need to have a safe and memorable trip, including a duffel bag, hiking poles, and a sleeping bag..

We provide trekkers with down jackets because the weather is chilly at high altitudes with low temperatures. It will help them deal with the cold weather on the Annapurna Circuit and even on Thamserku. When they return to Kathmandu, they must return the equipment to Nepal Eco Adventure.

Apart from these items, if trekkers discover that any other equipment is missing from the list, they must bring it with them from their home country or purchase it. Thamel has a plethora of shops that can assist trekkers in obtaining the necessary equipment. It can be low-cost or high-end, which is a bit pricey but has unrivaled quality.

Is there an ATM along the Annapurna Circuit route?

There are ATMs and money exchange services in Chame, Jomsom, and Tatopani, so don’t worry about running out of money on the Annapurna Circuit Trek.
